Job Opportunities for the Unruly
 

what kind of job would you recommend if you can't have a regular job and need to earn money?

i mean, besides prostitution.

depends on what you mean by 'cant have a regular job'

do you have no legs? or do you just not like working 9 to 5? or is it an office job you fear? etc..

what are the things you dislike/can't pysically do?

i am one of those. fuck "employment". working for someone else's profit is for suckers. i used to get fired all the time for being smarter than the boss and telling him how wrong he was. fuck the boss. start your own business. whatever you're good at and can be sold-- do that. you gotta have some skills-- rent them. practice makes perfect. you know more about music than most people. start a record label or something. organize concerts. get a radio show. embrace profit.

i think it's a case of mutual dislike.

How do you go about just starting a record label? I've always wondered that.


What I would LOVE to do is start a radio station - a GOOD radio station - here in Cincinnati.

with BALLS-- and a good lawyer? (i dont know)


i thought you already had WKRP-- or so cheeto sez.

harvest human organs and sell them to the highest bidder.

at least, that's what I'd do.

If it's still here, I don't know where it is.

Even then, I want something GOOD. Even if it didn't last long, it would be a great feeling to know that I was responsible for that short period of time in Cincinnati when there was a radio station that you could call up and request Dinosaur Jr. without the DJ telling you they don't have it and have never heard of it before. That's all I want.

speaking of dinosaurs, those radio stations are a thing of the past and probably will never come back. satellite-- it's a monopoly. internet radio stations, on the other hand? who knows...

but if you have the money and the patience, you could apply for a broadcast station...

duly noted but it's complicated, i'll pm you later.

By the way !@#$%!, do you do any of those things, or are they just ideas?

starting a record label? it's easy, research, then find a pressing plant and bands.

ohh, and have cash at the ready for investment.

hmm.. well, what do you like to 'do' ? what challenges you, motivates you, etc? are you out-doorsey? or indoors person? or night person?

In order to narrow down to a job you can tolerate, you kind of need to have an idea of what will motivate you and not make you want to cry.

make gud musiks?

one part of me wants to argue with you for this because i'm already doing what i like but i'm not earning money, so i need something that can give me an income.

but, on the other hand, i haven't really thought of all that when looking for a job, so you may be on to something there.

you can always find the cash if you have the know-how. partner up.

a friend of mine who shall remain unnamed had to stop paying his mortgage & car to finish his movie. he had to go to court to stop the foreclosure, but after the movie was finished he sold a shitload of dvds, paid it all off & made a nice profit.

YOU CAN FUCKING DO IT.

read william blake's proverbs from hell if you need inspiration. such as:

The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow.

What is now proved was once only imagin'd.

!@#$%!: clear some pms man!!!

oh sheet. i ahvent used them in a while, sorry-- a minute...

--

done.

now, ch-ch-ch-check 'em out.

i have my own business so ig uess that's my "experience". but i make tiny movies and commercial videos, not music. i started by making websites (which paid for the video gear).

the radio thing: i wouldnt do it in a million years. i did take a course in mass media so i learned about licenses & shit.

starting a label: i'd do it if i was a music guy, but as it turns out im into film/video. either way: make + sell = profit.

I think one should have ( at least ) one good band in sight , before starting a label.
Unless it's only for money , then any trendy crap will fit.

i dont know anybody here who is more loyal to his own musical tastes and instincts and less prone to be dragged by "trendy crap" than everyneurotic. he may be at times a stubborn goat, but "trendy"?

hahahahaha.

i don't know how trendy any of the things i have released or plan to release are, maybe that's why i need money.

maybe it's time i start a boy band.

can i be the bad-boy-type with the goatee?

you should charge more for the postage. and then start advertising here in gringolandia.

AVIDA DOLLARS

you need to audition, i have to see your dance moves, hear your voice and see your threatning non-threatning sneer.

audition are byowb = bring your own white bandana.

music therapist (this is good fun, even when you're dealing with difficult patients)

counsellor (if you have the patience to sit down and listen to someone talking about their problems)

This is a bit of a conceited point of view, isn't it? No-one likes the prick who gives advice badly. I'm sure you're not fully endorsing this, as you seem a reasonable chap, but I've seen lots of people with this I-know-better attitude, and they're rarely as smart as they think they are. I can run rings around my boss when it comes to epic poetry, but he can organise a bunchy of unruly turds better than I can.

i have no idea what you mean by music therapist (do you mean like sit people and play them the sound of the whales mating so they can relax?), but counsellor seems like a great idea since i already do that for my friends for free...i'll look into this.

No, music therapy is much more than that. First off, it's stimulating because you learn how a certain type of patient reacts to specific sounds/songs/types of music.

Then you get to work with people whose confidence has been wiped off by whatever mental/pshysical condition they find themselves in, and from there on your goal is to re-build that confidence to a level which will engage them and render them autonomous in the creation of something. Being a musician, you should find it stimulating because you're teaching someone how to write simple songs and at the same time you're alleviating the weight of a mental/physical burden that sits right on their shoulders.

There are plenty of interesting courses out there, if you do some research.

conceited yes, i was summarizing fast. the thing is i always ended up joining and/or organizing the picket lines. the bosses don't know jack shit (they don't). i'm for the proles owning the means of production. no, not really-- it just happens that after a while doing a job i can figure out a way of doing it better and i detest the constrains imposed by social convention.

i used to be the "good employee" who would send letters to the management making suggestions about improving efficiencies, expanding markets, etc, and some got adopted, some got ignored. but it's really a retarded place to be. i prefer that my ideas profit me.

the times i had a smarter boss, e.g, a dissertation advisor-- yeah, i respected the bastard, but i tired of jumping hoops to meet his requirements. other people would cry, i just up & quit.

point is, the original post asks for opportunities for the UNRULY, the INDOCILE, who will NOT submit. he didn't ask "teach me social graces" or "how can i fit in with my coworkers?" hence, i offered.

all manner of arguments can be made for the social boons of docility, and bless the meek, god knows we need them, but if you just CANNOT say "yes boss" and smile, then you better find some other way to make a living, which always beats starvation. i do have experience with that.

i personally have a problem with people telling me what to do, so i CAN"T work for another person unless they hire me as an expert & then butt the fuck out. and that's what i do and it's a nice living. i hope the original poster can find a way to do the same.

This is a good one:

my sneer is off-tha-hook. i should make it if only for that

i think we all can vouch for your nipples. nipples trump auditions, in my book.

well if i have to ride my nipples' coat-tails to stardom, then so be it. put away your pride if you want to make it in show business. thats what i always say

the nipple is essential to the "posing with an opened shirt" part of the audition, so...

Just become homeless it's much easier. You get more money than trying to earn money. Just look at all the rich families living in Tijuana.

fuck prostitution [pun intended], don't degrade yrself, degrade other people's selves..

the building next door was abandoned, i was thinking of squatting there.
